THAT’S WHY WE GO TO COMBLEY!
Chris Reilly took the ferry across to the Isle of Wight in search of large scaly carp, and large scaly carp are exactly what he got!
The 38-year-old from Watford already boasts an impressive album of scalies thanks his time on his Embryo syndicate water, but the fish of Combley Lakes are on another level!
Fishing the Lower Lake, Chris found the fish in tentative mood, which is often the case on small lakes, but with a persistent approach of Secret 7 Corker dumbbell wafters fished over the marginal reeds amongst a bed of Secret 7 pellets covered in S7 Amino Smoke, Chris was rewarded with four stunning mirrors.
The pick of the trip was a spectacular-looking 40lb 2oz mirror, which was backed up by equally impressive fish of 38lb 8oz, 37lb 2oz and 29lb.
